19 TUDENT LIFE Spirit Week Peaks With Homecoming 1986 Montevallo vs West Blocton game was perhaps the most important game of the season not only be- cause it was a victory but because it was Montevallo’s Homecoming 1986. Overall, the week was a suc- cess, although there were some un- pleasant moments. A mixup in the pre-game leadout resulted in the crowning of the wrong queen, but the mistake was realized and the mishap was resolved at the dance later that night. Although it was a rather delicate situation, both girls involved, senior attendant Kara Child, and 1986 Homecoming Queen Cathy Anderson, handled the situation with grace and dignity. The rain put a damper on the game as well as the pre-game show, but later, at the dance, the magic of the night showed through. The excite- ment of the dance peaked with the presentation of the Homecoming Court and Queen on the leadout. As the Queen was announced, bal- loons were released on either side of the stage which added to the magic of the moment for Queen Cathy An- derson. Other members of the court included freshmen attendants Dana Layton and Reneé Robertson; sophomore attendants Suzanne Child and Melissa Payne; junior at- tendants Kristie Pate and Sandra Sloan; and senior attendants Kara Child and Cecilia Rutledge. Making her third appearance on the court, junior Sandra Sloan is escorted by her father, Mr Guy Sloan Serving guests, students, and faculty at the dance are, Patty Schweitzer, Bridget Patrick, Marcie Dubose, and Kimberly Maddox Senior court members, Kara Child, Queen Cathy Anderson, and Cecilia Rutledge Members of the Homecoming Court and their escorts watch the remainder of the leadout ceremonies.
